Trevor Sinclair was left thrilled by West Ham United star Vladimir Coufal as he starred for the Czech Republic.

The Czechs went top of their EURO 2020 group after winning 2-0 at Hampden Park, with Tomas Soucek also starring.

Coufal assisted the opening goal for Patrick Schick, who headed home a deep cross expertly into the far corner.

Coufal was up against Andrew Robertson for 90 minutes, and after a couple of shaky moments, he dominated.

Writing on his personal Twitter account, Sinclair only needed two words to describe how impressed he was on the biggest stage.

“Coufal’s class,” he wrote.

Star.

Coufal is continuing to prove everyone wrong and is establishing himself as one of the best in the Premier League.

Arriving as an unknown at the start of the season at the London Stadium, less than a year later, everyone knows who he is.

Soucek was quiet by his standards, but he can thank his Czech-mate for the three points and cracking afternoon all-round.

Everyone singled out Coufal, that is outside of Patrick Schick who fired home both goals, one even from the halfway line.

With Croatia and England to come in the next week, the Czech Republic will be relying on the likes of Coufal and Soucek to shine if they are to get any points.

Coming up against the likes of Ivan Perisic and Raheem Sterling could be on the cards, and it will be one of these busiest weeks of his career.
